Pre-Requisites:

Before going ahead check that your Moto G3 has a proper battery backup. This is essential as lack of battery power can power off your device while the process is going on. Hence it is highly recommended to charge the battery of your device at least up to 60%.

It is necessary to backup entire data present on your phone as everything needs to be wiped in this flashing process. So make sure you backup contacts, applications, notes, messages, call logs etc.

Motorola mobile specific USB drivers must be installed on your computer. This helps in detecting your phone when connected to computer. You can manually install the drivers from the link given below.

Also your Moto G3 should have root access. A custom recovery like CWM (Clockworkmod) or TWRP must be flashed before proceeding ahead. If you haven’t installed yet, then follow our tutorial given below:

The USB debugging mode must be enabled on your phone. For doing so, follow the path Menu->Settings->Developer options ->USB debugging. If you can’t see Developer option then go to Settings->About Phone and tap 7 times on the Build number. This will make the Developers option appear in the Settings menu.

Step 5: In bootloader mode you can perform various operations like restart bootloader, enter recovery mode, start bootloader mode etc. just by using Volume up and down keys. So using Volume keys open Recovery mode option and select it using Power button.

Step 6: As soon as you hit the power button your mobile will boot into TWRP recovery mode.

As you enter into TWRP recovery mode, the first thing you need to do is take a complete backup called Nandroid backup of your current ROM.

Step 16: That’s all. Flashing process completes here. Now you need to restart your phone by selecting the Reboot->System option present on the TWRP recovery mode. Note that the first boot will take more time to start than usual.

Note: If your phone gets stuck in boot loops, then enter into TWRP recovery, wipe dalvik/cache partitions and then reboot.
